The Indian team has to play the first match of the upcoming 5-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy series on the Australian tour on November 22, in which the first Test will be played in Perth. Prior to this Test match, India suffered a three-match losing streak at home to New Zealand in which captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s bats were silent throughout the series. There were only 91 runs while Virat Kohli scored only 93 runs. This situation is like a big wake-up call for the Indian team before their tour of Australia. At the same time, after the clean sweep in the Test match against New Zealand, captain Rohit also answered questions about the preparations for the Australia tour at the press conference and revealed the reason for not participating in the team matches. match. .
This will give us ample opportunity to prepare
When asked about the preparations for the Australia tour, Rohit Sharma said that we canceled the intra-squad games as it did not give everyone enough opportunity to prepare because if the batsman gets out early, then in In this case, he has to spend the entire game in the dugout. We have 19 members going there and we have three days to prepare before the first game. So I believe we decided to do more practice to give both the batsmen and the bowlers a chance to be more prepared. It will give us all a chance to spend some time together as we are all playing a lot of cricket as well.
we need to look forward
India’s batsmen had a very poor performance in the Test match against New Zealand and skipper Rohit Sharma said there is no doubt that it is a matter of concern. If a batsman performs poorly, it’s a concern for all of us. Whatever you do, it’s done. As a player, as a captain and as a team we all have to look forward. We have to see how we can improve what we can’t achieve here. We have a great opportunity to go to Australia and do something special. We will focus on this. I don’t think we can think that far ahead. I’m not thinking about anything other than the Australia series. The series against Australia now is very important for us. We’ll see what happens next. A lot of our players have played there before and a lot of our players have not played there before, which is why we try to get there as early as possible so that we can get used to the conditions.
